I started investing in the UFX broker a while back with simply a demo account. After some calls from their sales agent about depositing real money, I finally transferred $500. The days went by and after a couple profits and one loss, which resulted in my net balance of $528.50.
After couple of weeks has passed , I’ve decided to withdraw $500 from my account because I really needed the money. I requested my withdrawal, that is from UFX broker, when i will receive my money?
